China Stops Buying U.S. Liquid Natural Gas

China hasn't imported liquefied natural gas from the United States since early February, as the tariff war hit energy trade and could have long-term consequences for U.S. LNG export contracts.

China just ended US LNG imports. Those imports only represented 3% of the LNG actually going into China BUT Chinese companies "accounted for 91% of worldwide purchases of LNG on long-term contracts." So all eyes on Europe. Reminder: LNG = climate wrecking ball www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b ...

It's okay though. We will surely makeup the shortfall in the China market, 15% of global GDP, with the Indonesia market which makes up... checks notes... 1.3% of the global economy.

Indonesia has become the latest country to agree to boost imports of U.S. goods to avoid crippling tariffs for its exports.

So yet ANOTHER thing that will lead to an IMMEDIATE recession in my huge block of MAGA Texas.

I think that there may be some panic buying after all.

Yeah. Trump has gotten in us into a big expensive ugly fight that neither China nor the US can win. ALL OF US are now beginning to pay the financial price and it is only going to get extremely worse. To say nothing about the stock market...

Thanks uneducated, cultist MAGAs sheep.
